I’m really excited for Midnight Thief and when Livia Blackburne asked if I’d like to read the prequel novella, Poison Dance, I was all for it! Now, novellas are tricky, and it can especially be tricky to introduce a whole new fantasy world in such a short amount of time. However, Poison Dance did a great job and I was immediately sucked into the world. We meet James, an assassin in the Assassin’s Guild. He’s deadly, he kills for a […]

I’m not very into politics. I have a tendency to stay out of strongly political conversations. But when Netgalley emailed me about this one, I was intrigued by the point of view of a girl smack dab in the middle of all of this. I decided to check it out and I’m glad I did! In The Tyrant’s Daughter, Laila along with her six year old brother and mother have fled their home after the murder of her father. In the […]

It definitely made me think of Mulan – pretending to be a boy, in the army, you can see where I get that – and it really had all the markings of something amazing! […]

For virtual book club, Betty, Chelsea, Racquel and I were going to read Wrecked — it was read now on netgalley! There’s a hot guy, apparently an MMA fighter, and the cover displays some nice abs and what Betty taught us were “penis pointers”. This was hilarious and it was probably the bright spot in reading this book. The book starts off with Lorrie about to start up at college again after having to take off a year. Her parents […]

In Pawn, we are introduced to a dystopian world where people take a test upon turning 17 that will determine their rank for the rest of their lives. The number you get assigned becomes tattooed to the back of your neck and you are designated with a job and a standard of living that correlates with that number. I or II? Well… you’ll probably live in poverty for the rest of your life, doing the most menial tasks. III? Better […]
